Time display not updating on Menu Bar

I have a MacBook Pro 15" Retina laptop running OSX 10.8.3
The time display on the menu bar doesn't update unless I click on it.
Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions? I have not been able to find any discussions about this.

Thanks LexSchellings for your reply and help. I have nominated a time zone and unchecked "set time zone automatically .." as you have suggested. I still need to restart the machine then time will tell if this solves my problem! (Pun intended ... sorry!)
Thank you again for your response!

Time machine not configured in menu bar but when accessed all seems ok?

I have an apple time machine just purchased in nov 2011 i set it up for my macbook pro and all was fine, now the icon in the top menu shows that time machine is not configured and time machine button wont turn on in sys preferences but i can access time machine in airport utility and all seems fine, i don't get it nothing has been changed by me yet it says something has and i don't know what?????

Are you talking about Time Machine (Apple's backup software) or your Time Capsule?
The menubar icon is for Time Machine; Airport Utility is where you configure your Time Capsule and network.
If Time Machine is not configured, it's not making backups, but you can still use the Time Capsule, both to use your network and, if you want, to put files on it.
If you're not making backups, you really should. You don't have to use Time Machine, but you should be backing your Mac up with another backup app so when (not if) something awful happens to your Mac, you don't lose all your data.

You can also go up to "View," and look all the way down to "Exit Full Screen."
Command+Control+f will toggle it off and on.

Preference panes do not open from menu bar extras

Hello.
I have an annoying problem : the preference panes in system preferences work well but the shortcuts to open them from the menu bar extras do not.
For example, when I choose "open bluetooth preferences" in the bluetooth menu bar extra, nothing happens.
But I can ver y well get to the bluetooth preferences in system preferences.
Same goes for all Apple or non-Apple menu bar extras which give the option of accessing a system prenerences pane : bluetooth, MenuMeters, Salling Clicker, Apple 's battery meter, Date &Time (those are the ones I use).
I tried removing the menu extras and re- enabling them, repaired permissions, checked permissions on the menu extras (with Applecare), re-ran the 10.4.5 combo update ... with no effect.
I think this started after I used Onyx (what a bad idea ...) for "regular" maintenance.
This is just annoying. Applecare tells me to archive and install.
I'd love to have a less invasive solution : except this annoying problem, my Mac works perfectly. And "archive and install" is quite time consuming since it is not that innocent with Apple or 3rd party pro apps.
I remember I had a similar issue with my old Mac by the times of Puma or Jaguar. There was an easier solution than "archive and install" by that time.
If anyone has any idea, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Jérôme.

The first thing to do is to remove any third party products that use the menu bar. Apple has advised developers from the day OS X came out to not use the menu bar for anything. They made it off limits for whatever reasons they have.
Of course some developers came up with hacks so that they could use it. Many of us, including me, like them but sometimes they cause problems. That is why I suggest starting there. Remove them and then re check your disk permissions and also run disk utility on your drive to insure that you don't have other issues.
This may not solve the problem but it is a good place to start.

How do I add the Displays icon to the Menu Bar?

In prior OS on my iMac, I was able to add the Display icon to the Menu Bar, making it a quick fix to adjust the resolution. That option no longer appears in the Display section of System Preferences. I am using multiple displays. Could that make any difference? Any suggestions?

Get date AND time to show in the menu bar

What is that technique to get date AND time to show in the menu bar please?

Install iStat Menu
System Preferences -> iStat Menus -> Date & Time
\[X] Show Date & Time
Format .... \[Edit]
(*) Custom (drag tokens to build a custom format)
Drag a light blue token into the edit line below the token selections. If you want a space a colon a dash, etc... just type that character(s) before after draging a token into place.
I created: 9:35 PM Sat 1-Aug-2009
You can create anything you like in any order you like.
The other alternative (if you happen to be a fan of the Unix strftime() function) would be to use the % formatting characters in the Expert time format expression box. Use the Terminal "man strftime" to find out all the available % formatting codes.
But I think the Custom Drag & Drop section is the easiest to use.
However, if this doesn't work for you, then I guess it is just a case of "Your Mileage May Vary".

Keyboard Viewer does not appear in menu bar input menu...help with 10.4.9

When I click on the flag in my menu bar, I have two options (Show/Hide Input Source Name and Open International Preferences). Is there any way to test the special characters on my keyboard if there is no keyboard viewer or keycaps application? Thanks very much.

Hi.
Go to System Preferences/International/Input Menu and tick On Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer.
Next time you click on the menu bar flag, you'll see "Show Character Palette" and "Show Keyboard Viewer"

The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)
A domain with fbstatic in it is likely a domain that is used by Facebook (fb), so you may have other problems if you stay on such a web page or get redirected
If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

HT204406 no itunes match update in menu bar so how do i update

no itunes match update in menu bar so how do i update

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options. 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window. 
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu. 
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar. 
 
You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items). 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden. 
If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.

How do I display BOTH the Time AND Date in the menu bar

But I only get the Time and Day of week, but NOT the date.
I am trying to get the display to look something like this.

I tried a program called 'MagiCal' that fixed this "bug" with OS 10.4, however with 10.5 'MagiCal' prevented my mail sounds from working properly (so it had to go).
Any ideas on how I can display the date and the time with 10.5.1

Try this:

Date, time and other possible items are not available in menu bar

My menu bar is not visible at the top right corner of the screen. Spotlight has also disappeared. This is true for all users and even when I reboot.
System caches have been cleared, prebindings rebuilt and all applications using the sidebar have been deleted from the system.
Is there any way of recuperating the menu bar without re-installing OS X?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Francine,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have done what you suggest and, unfortunately, the log has hundreds of errors.
I attach the logsto see if you or any other kind genious can help!! Thanks

MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Firefox 26.0 on Mac will not display the website top menu bar so you make category selections. The menu appears briefly and then disappears.

After the update to version 26.0 (Mac), when visiting the Google Play website, the website menu bar which allows you to select categories disappears. When the page is loading, it will momentarily appear along with the 'gear' icon on the far right (for setting preferences). I have cleared cache, etc. and it still does not function properly.
The site functions properly with Safari and worked prior to this last update.

When you say you cleared cache, etc., did you also remove your Google cookies?
If you haven't tried that yet, and in case this is based on some kind of saved cookie-based setting, after save any pending work, while viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove google.com cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
On Windows 7, the page is served with that category list hidden, and then a script slides it into view. It sounds as though that part is working fine for you, but then it is losing visibility after that. You don't have any extensions which appear to hide page content, so I'm not sure what is going on there.

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!
